25 Chart Takeaways: Twenty One Pilots Take ‘Blurryface’ to #1

Tyler Joseph (of Twenty One Pilots) may be “Stressed Out” but he shouldn’t be – new album Blurryface easily commands that number one spot on the Billboard 200. That and 24 more fascinating chart takeaways!

1) Nothing is blurred about the #1 album this week. Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface easily tops the Billboard 200. Vessel improves from #88 to #75 in its 40th week.

2) Taylor Swift reclaims a spot in the top five as 1989 rises from #9 to #2. She can thank her new #1 single “Bad Blood” (featuring Kendrick Lamar).

3) Zedd goes top five as True Colors debuts at #4, besting previous album Clarity.

4) The Voice, Season 8 winner Sawyer Fredericks debuts at #6 with his collection of performances. Meghan Linsey debuts at #45, Joshua Davis debuts at #58, and Koryn Hawthorne lands at #85.

5) Brantley Gilbert’s Just As I Am sees a huge jump from #69 to #7, thanks to the release of a platinum edition of the effort.

6) Jamie Foxx debuts at #10 with his quietly released Hollywood: A Story Of A Dozen Roses.

7) Fifty Shades of Grey slips outside of the top 10 for the first time since its release 15 weeks ago.

22) Call it a flop – Ciara’s Jackieplummets 32 spots in week three from #64 to #96.

23) Hot Chip debuts modestly at #103 with latest LP Why Make Sense? They will only be “making cents” on this album.

24) “B**ches N Marijuana” can’t save Fan Of A Fan: The Album. The Chris Brown and Tyga project slips from #90 to #106 after only 13 weeks in. Compared to Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise, the #1 album from 13 weeks back, it currently sits at #43.

25) Incubus did work last week, but not this week. After debuting at #6 with EP Trust Fall (Side A), the effort drops 103 spots to #109. Shameful!
